TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention is generally related to apparatus and systems forsending messages and more particularly to a system and apparatus forconstructing and sharing an augmented interactive landscape or the like.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure teaches a device allowing users to augment theenvironment with media files accessible and identified by an icon taggedto a particular location or object and accessible by users proximate tothe tagged location.

Individuals interact with their environment on a continual basis.Certain moments may occur where an interaction with a place, thing,person, article, thought, feeling, or the like may occur. Such moments,indeed all moments, are multidimensional and/or multisensory. Eachmoment, whether ignored or passed without notice, or contemplated,generally includes all of a persons senses, a time and date, a location,and a set of things involved in the moment, e.g., a sound, a song, avideo, some text, a conversation, a three-dimensional object, a place, aperson, or group of people, a landscape, a view, or the like. Suchmoments produce thoughts and or feelings. Recording such moments forsharing and hermeneutics (context) for a particular set of circumstancesis desirable. A moment may be a simple reminder or a multidimensional(multisensory) reminder (one which generates a mood or feeling) or forcommunicating the feelings attached to the context of experiencing aparticular moment to a select group of friends, a filtered audience orbroadcast unfiltered to complete strangers.

In one embodiment of the present invention a recording of a moment maybe shared with a party that has moved near or to the location from whicha particular moment (encounter) was recorded. Likewise, a time, thing,person, object or position may recall a recorded moment to another. Inoperation, a 104 or the like (smart device, iPhone, iPad, tablet,Android device, Surface) may be utilized to record andread/view/experience a moment.

A person carrying a handy or the like while traveling, eating, walking,working, driving (passenger), traveling, and otherwise living may recordthe embodied experiences of a moment (or interaction) with a video,song, menu, image, video, conversation, story, interactive momentelement, or the like, tagged to a particular location and time.Interesting (suitable/desired) moment files may be located via bothtangible and intangible aspects of a recorded moment(experienced/shared) by an in situ user by location, tagged object, andthe like. Additionally, the context of a recorded moment may besearchable by time, location, type, mood (humorous, informative,poignant, opinion, historical, idiohistoric, and others) and filtered byan in situ user (or remote users in special embodiments of the presentinvention).

In a presently preferred embodiment, the invention may work and employvirtual reality standards as they develop and are deployed such thatobjects/things and the like may be paired with a tagged location(message).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of thedisclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings.

The instant disclosure describes an apparatus, method, and system forrecording moments 10 via a moment system 100. The moment system 100includes a plurality of moment recorders 200 for recording moment files10 to a server 108 (or the like). Each moment file 10 may include media212 tagged with a time 204 and location 202. An embodiment may alsoinclude locomotion source 208 and theme 210.

Moment files are preferably associated with an object 122 or location202. Users 12 may tag objects 122 and locations 202 to leave media 212and the like for other users 12. The present invention allows users tofilter, follow, share, inform, opine, and exchange ideas and moments 10interesting to themselves and others.

Turning first to FIG. 1, a plurality of handies 104 (or the like) may benetworked in an embodiment of the present invention for recording 200and reading 300 moments 10 by subscribed users 12. Moments 10 arerecorded 200 in a file 102 (on a server 108 or the like) tagged to alocation 202 (object 122, place 206 or the like). Each moment 10 iscreated via a handy 104 or the like by directing the handy 104 to aplace 206 (object 122, location 202) to record the coordinates and time204. A user 12 may then associate the moment 10 with media 212. Moments10 may additionally include tokens, games, instructions, memories,memorabilia, advertisements, and the like.

FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the system 100 of a moment recordingsystem and apparatus 200 of the present invention. When activated, themoment recorder 200 records a location 206, or a series of locations inseriatim, for a moment 10 (or a series of moments) in, for example, ageographic coordinate system geodetic datum (WGS 84 or the like). Themoment recorder 200 also records the date and time 204 for each location206 in a moment file 10. Associated with the moment file 10 areadditional classes of information (206, 210, 212, & 208) for providingmultiple-dimensional-information 200 tagged and associated with andabout a moment 10 (FIG. 15). For example, where the moment 10 wasrecorded while traversing a location in some means of transportation 208such as a ship 252, airplane 254, automobile 256, public transportation258, bicycle 260, or while ambulating 262, the method of transport ispreferably associated with the moment 10. Likewise, where the momenttakes place in an area 206, e.g., a national park 230, on a road 604 orsidewalk (trail 602), a campground 232, building 234, house 236, museum238, school 240, restaurant 242, scenic area 244, city park 246, zoo248, store 250, or the like, such information will be recorded 200 inthe moment file 10. In a preferred embodiment of the recorder 200 mediamay also be associated (tagged) to a moment 10. For example, a picture214, a sound or audio recording 216, a 360° video 218 or video 220, atext 222 or an image, a screen shot, a calendar entry, reminder 224, orthe like. Also preferably associated with the moment 10 is context 210,or mood, or the like 108. For example, an embodiment may also record aspart of a moment 10 a diary entry 302, a history 304, a feeling or mood306, information 308, an opinion 310, or poignant anecdotes 312 or thelike.

FIG. 3 illustrates a presently preferred method and apparatus forreading a tagged moment 10 (from a location 206 or the like). A handy104 (camera) may be directed to, near, or toward an object 122 (e.g., atable lamp). A user 12 may then use the present invention 100 to tag theobject and add content (206, 208, 210, 212) to be written with andassociated with the object (and its location and/or time) to a momentfile 10. The moment file 10 is, in a presently preferred embodiment,written to a server 108, via a network connection 110 or the like (thefile may be restricted to a particular user 12 or user group). Themoment file 10 may be stored and searched by an in situ user (and insome embodiments also a remote user) location and at least one of media212, locomotion 208, location 206, and theme 210. Another user 12 with ahandy 104 or the like may utilize a filter 106 or the like to restrictavailability or reviewability of a moment file 10 in accordance withuser selectable traits or preferences. Thus, a user 12 might select tohave available moments 10 by location 206 and/or context. For example, aparticular mood 306 or feeling 312, a type of object 122, a location206, and/or media type 212. As a user 12 encounters an object they maypoint their handy 104 at an object 122, at a location 206, at a set ofcoordinates to review available (readable) moments 10.

FIG. 3, by way of example, illustrates three moment files 10 a, 10 b,and 10 c. Moment 10 a contains a photograph and describes a mood 306(and time 204). Moment 10 b contains a reminder 224, a time 204, afeeling 312, and a mood. Moment 10 c contains a text 222 (description),a sound recording (song) 216, a time 204, and a feeling 312. All of theexample moments (10 a-c) may be associated with a single object 122(lamp) at a particular location (e.g., a hotel lobby or the like), eachcreated by different users 12, at different times, and readable 300 byone or more users 12.

A server 108 may contain an individual server, a universal server, agroup server, and/or multiple servers providing connectivity to users 12recording 200 and reading 300 via a network connection 110. The system100 may provide users 12 access via a network connection 110 connectedto a server 108 via a filter 106 (user selectable and controllable via,for e.g., an application driven menu or the like) associated with areader 300 (handy 104).

FIG. 4 illustrates a presently preferred network connection 110 schemafor allowing recorders 200 and readers 300 of the system 100 tooperatively connect with the system to record 200 and read 300 momentfiles 10. Preferably the system 100 may be utilized both in and out ofdoors. By way of illustration a plurality of handies 104 may beconnected to a server 108 via a cellular network 116 (when available)and have consistent and reliable location information 114 via a GNSSsystem or the like. When a cellular connection 116 is unavailable, WiFior Bluetooth 118 may be utilized to provide both connectivity 110 anduser 12 location information 114 (triangulation, multilateration, or thelike). LiFi 120 and other indoor location and connectivity systems mayalso be utilized (Eddystone, iBeacon) to provide robust system 100connectivity 110 for both recording 200 and reading 300.

FIG. 5 illustrates a presently preferred means of utilizing anembodiment of the present invention. Users 12 may record 200 a heart andinitials virtually or actually carved into a tree. The object (carving)may then be associated with their initials (and other media) virtuallyinto a tree. Users 12 may decide to capture the moment using aspects ofthe present invention 100. Using handies 104, tagging a particularlocation (longitude and latitude) of the tree, a reference object, i.e.,heart carving. Users may then select to leave a picture 214 and a text222 in the moment file 102 attached with the paired location-object(tree-heart). Selecting a message type may also be provided, e.g., afeeling 312 and/or diary 302. After the passing of time another user 12nearing the tagged location (tree) with appropriate filter settings(appropriately selected filter preferences or viewing authorization) maybe informed of a nearby moment 10. The moment may be read 300 orignored. If it is to be read, shared, an embodiment may tell a user 12how many of their steps (and in what direction) the recorded moment 10resides. Upon following a set of instructions the tagged object andmoment 10 may be read 300. This and subsequent users 12 may comment onthe original and subsequent moment with a new moment 606. A differentmedia may be utilized, and a reply may be sent to the original recordinghandy 104.

FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of the system 1000 for utilizationwhile moving 208. In operation a user 12 may leave a string of moments102 k-102 t along a travel way 602, 604. A user 12 in a vehicle (orwalking 262) may both record and read moment files along the path. Forexample, a plurality of photographs 214 (album covers) and songs 216might be left as a playlist for reading (watching/listening) by a usertraveling (in a vehicle 260, 256 or the like). Member users 12 and thelike may subscribe to a single or various recorders for listening andviewing the travels and travel interests of a person (recorder) theyfollow via their filter 106 (blogger/disk jockey). Likewise a pluralityof photographs or video snippets may be left showing scenic areas alonga route during different seasons or conditions. Additionally, a recordermay record commentary or opinions as in a travelogue or the like.Other's, following a particular author (travel writer/blogger) mayobtain a more complete and fulfilling travel experience. Furthermore,children and the like may experience the commentary of past travel(e.g., a travelogue) recorded moments 10 of a parent (family member orfriend) along a particular route. Moment archeologist of the system 100may track, write histories, study, promote policies, predict futureinterest, and the like.

Turning now to FIG. 7, a moment 102 a may be recorded at an outdoortable at a restaurant or café memorializing a moment via a particularmedium or collection of media such that another user 12 may experienceor enjoy a particular aspect saved 200 by another user 12. In an indoortable a user 12 might read 200 (or record 300) a moment 10 regarding anobject such as a painting 102 c. The user's 12 handy 104 (or the like)may provide location and connectivity via a wireless network 118.Additionally, a user 12 may opine 310 regarding a menu item 102 d ormenu, or meal, or the like. Information 308 regarding a particular locusin quo may also be shared via an embodiment of the system 100 of thepresent invention. Some locations including interesting objects, such asa sculpture, thing, or the like 102 h, which may warrant a comment ormoment 10 of interest to other users. Outdoor venues may also includeobjects to be tagged with a moment 10 such as an outdoor sculpture 102i, bench 102 b, hydrant 102 e, sign 102 g, or the like. Location datamay be derived via a GNSS network 114 or wireless network 118, or thelike.

FIG. 8 illustrates, by example, the utilization of an embodiment of thepresent invention 100 in a museum. Users 12 may leave tagged moments 10associated with art objects 122 containing editorial, opinion, andinformational media or the like. WIKIPEDIA® like articles, encyclopediaentries, and the like may be appended to or be part of a moment files10. Likewise, content created by the system 100 may blend moment file 10content to form moment file 10 abstracts of a particular location orthing of interest. Additionally, a professional, such as a curator mayleave moments 10 near objects 122. These professional comments (moments10) may be commented on by other users 12 and shared within a smallgroup or the like. In a preferred embodiment an administrator may firstapprove or reject moments 10 left within a geo-fenced area (around anobject, within a facility) or the like. In this fashion, an authoritymay control the type of moment's readable/recordable. Likewise, paidmoments 10 may be left on or about a facility tied to a particularactivity 208 or object 122. Other monetization schema may also beemployed, e.g., a subscription to the recordings of a particularrecorder 12. A filter for filtering all commercial moments 10 may alsobe available for a subscription requiring a set number of recordedmoments 10 over a particular period of time (or a small pecuniary fee).Subscription revenue (in at least one embodiment) may be wholly orpartially distributed to an appropriate holder 1006 in the form ofreduced fees or the like. Highly desirable moment content 10 may beassociated with a brief, a paid announcement, or the like.

FIG. 9 illustrates an embodiment 100 of the invention in a retailenvironment. A user 12 might leave a plurality or moments 10 near andassociated with grocery items and the like. A user desiring to make aparticular recipe or the like might follow a plurality of moments withina grocery store or the like to purchase the correct or desired items. Avirtual shopping list may be created containing other suggested itemsnecessary to fabricate a particular dish or the like. A significantother might leave shopping instructions for their partner. Likewise,coupons and discount related information might be interactively obtainedby users 12 through moment files 102 of an embodiment of the invention100. This provides vendors, product placement managers,marketing/advertising professionals, manufacturers, and storeowners torequire proximity both in space and/or time to obtain a desirable moment10. For example, at 8:00 AM a store might be otherwise in need ofshoppers on any given day. In order to drive traffic into a store(venue) a scavenger hunt (breadcrumbs, spoor) contest or the like mightbe utilized to provide discounts or prize type interests for shoppers.

FIG. 10 illustrates an augmented property map 1002 based upon realproperty boundaries or virtual boundaries 1004 in accordance with atleast one embodiment of the present invention 100. Users 12 mayidentify, price, bid on, purchase, negotiate, trade, rent/lease, borrow,and the like a parcel of augmented property 1000. Additionally, anowner/holder 1006 of a parcel of augmented property 1000 may restrictuse and or prevent trespassing users 12 and their associated momentfiles 10. Moments 10 may only, for example, be left, accessed/enjoyed,and/or seen (visualized by a particular user 12) as provided by thesystem 100 (in at least one embodiment 100).

In one embodiment users 12 gaining access to a particular location 202by being physically present in the location may receive some hapticresponse (ping) originating from the system 100 to a user's 12 handy 14,or from a holder 1006 interested in separately interacting with aparticular user 12 reading/recording 300/200 a moment file. A virtualproperty ownership system 1000 may include an augmented (virtual) map1002 augmenting real or contrived boundaries 1004 such that an owner1006 of augmented property may monetize system 100, users 12, momentfile 10 recording/reading 200/300. Augmented property holder 1006identification may be designated with a holder 1006 moment file 1008which must be accessed/played or the like in order for a user 12 torecord or read a moment file 10. In one embodiment a user moving 1010across a boundary 1004 into another holders' 1006 augmented property maybe (or may not be) required to access the crossed into holders augmentedproperty moment identification moment file 1008. A user's 12 time withinan augmented estate, and/or number of previously viewed user holderbased content moment files 1008, may modify the content of a holders'moment file 1008 so as to present either full, abbreviated, or no momentfile content to said user.

FIG. 11 illustrates a currently preferred process for transferringaugmented property in accordance with the system 100 of the presentinvention. The purchasing process 1100 includes an augmented property1002 divisible temporally, by user population, by clicks, acreage(square meter), onerousness of holder moment 1008 content, by value andfrequency of chits or coupons provided to users, coupon downloads, usertraffic, and user feedback. Holder 1006 control over augmented propertymay be limited to actual real property ownership, fee simple, fee tail,temporal estate, lease, or license. An agreement 1102 may be utilized todescribe terms and conditions incumbent on a purchasing holder'sutilization of the augmented property 1104. Augmented property deeds1106 may be freely or restrictedly hypothecated or traded in accordancewith the agreement 1102.

Turning now to FIG. 12, an auctioning system 1200 for prized augmentedproperty 1202 or a plot of augmented purchased property 1210 in anauction 1204 facilitated by the system 100 in accordance with auctionstandards (minimum bid, absolute, and reserve or the like). Competingbidders 1206 may combine interests, divide interests, and otherwisenegotiate terms in accordance with the system 100 auction system 1200rules. Rules may be set forth in a system moment file 10 accessible tointerested parties to the property 1202. Disputes may be decided viaarbitration, a rating system, or the like. Funds 1208 may be distributedpartially or fully to users providing moment file 10 content based uponuser recorded moment file 10 ratings, views or the like. The funds 1208may also be distributed by the system 100 to users who access/readmoment files 10 located in augmented property 1202 in the form ofcoupons or chits. These coupons or chits may be underwritten back to theholder 1006 by the system 100 in the form of reduced lease, rent, click,or property holder maintenance fees (or the like) payments to the system100.

FIG. 13 illustrates a feature of an embodiment of the present inventionrestricting moment file 10 content recording or reading (viewing) withina augmented geo-fenced area 1302 (churches, temples, cemetery, schools,and the like). Holders 1006 may also purchase and then prevent allmoment file 10 recording/reading 200/300 within the boundaries 1004 oftheir augmented property. Real property holders may seek condemnation(eviction) from the system 100 of an augmented property holder's 1006interest, which is within the boundaries of the real property holder'sestate.

Turning next to FIG. 14, the system 100 may allow user's to tag otherusers with moment file 10 content. The system may allow users torestrict moment file 10 content recording on the handy 104 location ofanother user (or the like) by group, content type, or the like.Generally, it is an object of the present invention to allow system 100users 12 to control (restrict) moment files 10 posted about them, aroundthem, on their property, by a particular user, group of users, and tootherwise restrict their participation with the system 100 and itsusers. Such restrictions may be free to users by moment file category,other user identity, moment file content, or the like (hate speech,speech designed to hurt a user or non-user, bullying, unwantedinteractions, stalking, and the like are preferably controlled via thesystem 100 filter 106. Other acceptable but undesirable moment file 10content may be restricted by (1) user participation level (higherutilization, measured, e.g., by moment file quality and content), or (2)by subscription. Users 12 may also control and designate members withintheir group, when and where they wish to be reminded of an availablemoment file 10 (do not notify [ping] while driving, at night, at work,in the theater, or the like). Users 12 may limit the radius of theirinterest to certain types of locations, users, geography, and the like.

Turning now to FIG. 15, a user interface for a multidimensional platformof the invention 100 (or the like) is illustrated. User interface icons1500 may be displayed on a device such as a handy 104 (herein varioushandy 104 icons throughout the appended figures also signify fixedvehicle displays or heads-up-display (HUD) or the like), capable ofoperation in the system 100 as at least one or both of a moment recorder200 and/or a moment reader 300.

Sample user interface icons 1500 for display 104 are preferablyrepresentative of moment content or subject. Users 12 may selectivelysort, arrange, and categorize moments 10 (FIG. 2) they have read 300 orrecorded 200. Additionally, the system 100 may provide sorting andcategorization (e.g., FIG. 2 or the like) according to desired system100 outcomes. For example, increasing usability, user participation andinterest, according to a particular property holder's 1006 interest, orin accordance with some useful social goal (e.g., awareness of laws,dangers, and restrictions or the like). FIG. 15 illustrates an examplesample set of moment icons 1500 for an embodiment of the presentinvention. For example temporary moments 1502 may be available to beread 200 (displayed and accessible) for a particular singular period oftime or for a brief period of time on a reoccurring or randomlyreoccurring basis according to a user 12, system 100, or holder 1006goal. Additionally, moments 10 may signify an opportunity to chat 1504with another user 12, the system, or a holder 1006. Moments 10 may alsobe grouped into families' or by category as signified by a single moment10 user interface icon 1500. Such groupings may be established accordingto a particular user's 12 interests, by age, game playing field (serialor intersection game board tile/space) in an augmented reality user 12,holder 1006, or system 100 designed and/or administered game. Forexample, a requirement that a user 12 follow a particular path solvingor achieving certain physical, mental, advertiser, or social tasks inorder to achieve a particular goal (see, for example, FIG. 16). Inanother embodiment a key/password 1508 accessible moment 10 category mayrequire an accomplishment or the like to obtain access to a moment 10.In such an embodiment or the like, sound 1510 moments 10 may beidentified and characterized as containing a voice message, musicalrecording, or the like. Video or movie based moments 1512 (see also 218,220 FIG. 2) and photograph based moments 1514 (see 214, FIG. 2) may alsoinclude a special interface icon 1500 moment file 10 designation. Users12 may also design and utilize customized icons to designate theirmoment 10 content (an avatar or the like). Such customized icons may beavailable according to specified system 100 rules and or parameters.

FIG. 15 also illustrates other categories of sample moment 10 contentwhich may or may not be available to all users 12. For example, a user12 may be tagged with a moment 10 icon 1500 representing a personalmessage 1516 relevant to other users 12 or the like. In an operatingembodiment of such a system 100, a user's handy 104 (vehicle or thelike) might include an icon signifying some aspect or reputational valueof such a user 12. Such a tagged user 12 might be tagged with a monikeror representation either positive or negative. Perhaps a particular useris a poor driver or doesn't obey traffic laws and or etiquette. In sucha case they may be visible via a reader 300 of the system 100 wearing(designated by) a particularly designed icon 1500 representing anegative characteristic, e.g., titterer, speeder, thrasher or flamer,and the like; or a positive characteristic, e.g., expert, arbitrator,banker, employee, friend, redeemer, repairperson, troubleshooter, or thelike. In one embodiment such a tagged user 12 could remove the tag onlyafter demonstrating to the system 100 ameliorating conduct or the like(e.g., consistently obeying traffic rules, system 100 verified walkingan area full of litter and then depositing the litter at a known refusecontainer or location). Likewise, positive monikers (tags) might beearned via ratings, moment recordings, training, and/or other system 100designations or assignments. User location data may be required by thesystem 100 in order for a user to participate. Network-based,GNSS-based, handset-based, SIM-based, WiFi based, Vehicle to Vehicle(V2V), Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL),(local.iteris.com/cvria/html/applications/applications.html), or otherand/or hybrid based handy (vehicle) 104 location tools may be employed.

As previously described in the description of FIG. 2, opinions 310 mayinclude a negative content 1518 moment file 10, and/or a positivecontent 1520 moment file 10. Users 12 of the system 100 may also achievea moment file 10 generated by another user 12, a holder 1006, or thesystem in a location a user is known to frequent which awards the user12 with a designation or chit or the like.

In other embodiments of the system 100 (FIG. 15) a user 12 may leavedirections 1524 or allow a user to turn system 100 features ON/OFF byaccessing (reading 300) a system menu 1526 moment file 10. A user'sreputation 1530 (biography or the like) may be designated via an icon1530 worn about a user in the augmented reality of the system 100. Somemoments 10 may be time sensitive 1528 or recorded as a reminder of anappointment, road work, weather hazard or the like. Notes and/orinstructions 1532 moment files 10 may be categorized and represented bya special icon 1500. Likewise a user 12 can leave a love note 1534moment file 10 for a particular user at a special place (accessible atany time or at certain times). Dashboard moment files 1536 may bedispersed geographically providing users 12 with information about newfeatures, changes, statistics, offers, and the like. Likewise, dashboardmoments 1536 may provide a moment locator (moment radar) or cluesrelevant to a particular user/moment, class of user/moment, or theuser/moment population.

So as to provide an enhanced social experience for users at least oneembodiment may include drifting moments 10 designated by an icon 1538.Such moments may change location by time, user activity, holder 1006requirements, or according to a pseudo-random operation of the system100. In other embodiments users 12 may leave moment files 10 askingquestions of an unknown but more knowledgeable user, or a known user, ora user with special characteristics. Such question moments 10 may bedesignated with a special moment icon 1542 (“Did anyone witness_(——————) on _(——————)?”). Also available in a preferred embodiment ofthe system 100 are “Easter egg” moments 10 (treasures) designated by anicon 1544 which provide user interest available from a holder 1006,another user 12, or the system 100 (specifically tailored for aparticular user or the like). Other embodiments may include game orpuzzle moments 10 designated by an icon 1546 where reading 300 such amoment may entitle a user to puzzle or game play (relevant to thegeography, place or the like) where success earns chits or the like.

Cross-platform access may be provided by special moment content 10allowing integration with users of other platforms or groups providingentertainment, tools, skills, or items valuable for trade in the system100 or another platform.

As designated by an X 1550 representing a thing or object of realproperty 1552, personal property 1554 (stationary or a fixture 1554A ormovable or portable 1554B), and virtual 1556, the system 100 may augmentany of these forms of property with a user recordable/readable momentfile 10.

Turning now to FIG. 16, a game player (user 12), a property holder 1006,the system 100, or the like may design a game 1600 with static rules, orrules which change according to time of day, day of week, playeraccomplishment, detours, player misdirection, or the like. A player 12may be required to access a series of moments 10 placed randomly orintelligently across a bounded 1602A or unbounded 1602B real (or realand virtual or real and augmented) area in a particular order with orwithout solving a physical, mental, or social problem characterized byrecording a moment 10 or the like at a particular location within agiven time period or at a particular step. A user 12 may use a game playhandy 1614 or the like to participate in reading/recording (300/200)moment files 10 in accordance with game rules/instructions 1604represented by a game play instruction icon 1604 moment file 10.

FIG. 17 illustrates a method of the system 100 for rewarding users 12 byhow the user community rates a user's recorded content.
